Meet Carree Tolle, Teaching Artist & Art Therapy Coach with Our Soul Oasis

ColorYourselfPurple | Therapeutic Art & Paint Therapy 

I am CARree, a Teaching Artist, Writer and Certified Art Therapy Personal Development Life Coach.

I have been using art from a very young age to recapture the better days and color my life purple, the way I thought it should look like. I used my imagination and art works to cheer myself up; to escape from the pain and hurt I experienced as a child and beyond.

I developed the need for the arts in my life.  Embracing the peace, and the moments within the arts to heal, to recreate, to separate myself from the pain. Through drawing and writing, from the Ballet to the Symphony. To make a life brighter and bolder for the world to see my true color, to Color Myself Purple.

An active artist, and writer on some level throughout my adult life as a commissioned artist as a contracted columnist, and paid writer. Staying close to my artistic and creative nurturing side, while maintaining a full time career that actually paid the bills.

While teaching art since 2016, I have come to realize my true passions, and desire to help others in the healing process through art as I have. And found a greater love for life, and even deeper love and appreciation for the arts more so than I already had. I found in the process of healing and helping others through the art of healing on a greater level as I had never experienced art before.

Recently obtaining Certification in Art Therapy Coaching and Personal Development, I am ready to Paint the WORLD Purple!!! Having experience in the Arts for nearly 20 years as an artist, writer, and digital designer, while I am now Certified as an Art Therapist Developmental Coach, continuing my education in order to achieve an UnderGrad Bachelors in General Psychology, Cognitive and Critical Thinking. I will continue to teach art, and now will be able to provide art therapy coaching sessions, and soon to be helping on a clinical level as an UnderGrad in the near future.

You Are My Property! by Lucie Hanzlickova

This is a strong statement, right? But have you ever felt like you have been someone's property? Coercive power is a form of Domestic Violence. Some men think they can treat women like property and some women treat men like property. I don't like to compare women to physical property, but if I am going to play this game : How will the property look like when there is no caring, no respect, no love, no repairs, and no investment in it from the person who owns it?! What is left from a woman/property then? What will the inner world of this woman look like? How damaged is her "property" when there is nothing left to take or destroy? Cracks, empty falling walls, broken glass, holes in the ceiling.... No protection from storms and rain falling from the sky, keeping everything damp and cold. I usually write in a positive attitude, but I think sometimes it just doesn't hit the nail on the head. I want you to shake you and wake you up! If people want to treat other peopl...

Consciously Processing Emotion by Vito Mucci

As we grow up there are a litany of skills we are taught in school, and, depending on our home life, another set of skills we are taught at home. Unlike banking or paying taxes or organizing bills, nothing in our lives as young adults forces us to learn this skill as a natural part of adulthood. In fact, we are generally unaware that it is important at all, even though our inability to do it disrupts our lives on a daily basis. This skill is the conscious processing of emotion. I grew up with a notion, maybe you did too, that people with emotional problems or addictions can't cope with life. When I was buried in panic and alcohol, my "inability to cope with life" was not an actionable thing to improve. I would ask "How can I cope with life better?" The answers were vague and unhelpful, "suck it up." From inside a broken brain and life, I had to figure out what it was that I couldn't cope with. It turned out that it was "feelings." Fe...
